MG MGA: how many are still registered?

2,196still registered

MG MGA cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 1 recorded variant.

One car drawn per 10 on the road - there are too many left to draw one each. Pick variants on the left to colour them in.

Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the MG MGA nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.
